"The Heliades were the daughters of Helios, the Sun God, changed to poplar trees, and when mourning the death of their brother Phaethon, their tears became amber."--Gemology by J. Sinkankas, entry no. 1039.
"Buffum, an archeologist, romantically describes his encounter with the colored ambers of Sicily in his introduction, then devotes his text to the legends connected with amber, the high esteem in which it was always held, the Baltic amber deposits, and gives references to the older amber literature."--Gemology by J. Sinkankas, entry no. 1039.
